Airlines Now Verbally Warning Passengers Not to Use Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on the Plane

Airlines and airports are beginning to crack down on explosive Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones. This was brought to the attention of many when New York Times reporter Mike Isaac tweeted that his airline verbally warned passengers to power off and stow the recalled device.

Airline just gave a verbal warning to passengers who own galaxy note 7: "due to recall, must be powered off and stowed. No charging."

For the past two weeks, consumers havebeenreporting that their Note 7s are exploding. Yesterday, the Postreported that one exploded in a six-year-old boy’s hands.

Samsung has stopped selling the phone and initiated a “product exchange program”, that would allow customers to return their potential phone bombs. After being criticised for not issuing an official recall, Samsung now says that it is working with the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The latest statement from the company puts things more clearly: “We are asking users to power down their Galaxy Note7s and exchange them now.”
